Norwegian potrebbe comprare un vettore europeo

Per aggirare vari problemi legati alla nuova sussidiaria Irlandese, il CEO di si è detto interessato ad acquisire un vettore europeo che già disponga delle autorizzazioni necessarie per operare negli USA.

Norwegian (DY, Oslo Gardermoen) would consider acquiring a European airline already in possession of a US foreign carrier permit should the US Department of Transportation (DoT) reject the pending application of new Irish subsidiary, Norwegian Air International (Dublin Int'l).

"If that happens we'll buy an airline with a permit," Chief Executive Bjorn Kjos said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "We've had many offers from airlines to buy them, but it would be better for us to have our own license," he added.

Kjos did however, remain optimistic about his airline's prospects of securing its US permit.

Norwegian is facing extreme resistance from both US trade unions and legacy carriers over its application to the DoT. They argue that Norwegian's use of an Irish AOC amounts to the use of a flag of convenience and would allow it to circumvent costly labour regulations in its homeland, Norway, thereby giving it an unfair competitive advantage.

Kjos warned that Norwegian Air Int'l's failure to secure a US traffic permit would force Norwegian Long Haul (DU, Oslo Gardermoen) to maintain the airline's longhaul operations out of Oslo Gardermoen, a market he deemed insufficient to sustain Norwegian's longhaul ambitions.

The CEO also played down previous reports in the local media that claimed Norwegian would acquire a US carrier claiming his quote had been taken out of context.

Ho volato recentemente con Norwegian. È veramente un ottima compagnia aerea, forse tra le migliori con cui ho volato. B737max, wifi gratis a bordo, schermi a scomparsa di notevole dimensione, sedute generose e servizio di bordo anche se a pagamento veramente discreto.

737max sarà difficile ?
